APRIL 6: Release Date NEW YORK CITY:

Enlighten Up is 82 minutes of yoga reflective of those who "have a practice' and those who are entering the world of sport because of injury, aging or just because it is the thing to do.

There is no question that Yoga is spreading like wildfire. It is difficult to find a "small" class where individual attention is afforded without extra fees.

Yoga is good for every one except..... This documentary isn't about the emergence of a hero. It is about the process of becoming a Yogi. No pain has been spared the subject of this process nor the audience who bares witness to all the pitfalls visited on this neophyte Yoga guinea pig.

But with all that said, what remains is an ever gowning awareness that Yoga, if you can do it, is a special discipline. This documentary is designed for those who are weak at heart and body as well as those who are committed to the art.

We have only one body, one mind The practice of Yoga aims to preserve and enhance both.

To see how it is done, or avoided at all costs.
Enlighten Up is the Way!

A low keyed documentary done wih minimum professional input and a lot of unconditional love.

Now playing at the IFC Midtown, Manhattan
